Kawartha Lakes communities to receive funding for 2025 Canada Day events

KAWARTHA LAKES: The municipality will provide a total of $10,000 in Canada Day funding, to support eight communities in Kawartha Lakes in their celebrating of Canada Day. The funding is in addition to the $14,000 in support received from the Federal government, through the Canadian Heritage Celebrate Canada Program.

The following communities will receive funding for their 2025 Canada Day celebrations:

• Lindsay Canada Day Committee

• Bobcaygeon Canada Day Committee

• Fenelon Falls Museum/Maryboro Lodge Museum

• Kinmount Community Centre Volunteer Management Committee

• Omemee and District Lions Club

• Kawartha Lakes Fire Station 17 – Norland

• Kawartha Lakes Civitan Club – Coboconk

• Little Britain Community Association

The funding will be applied towards the cost of various aspects of these events including: fireworks, entertainment, and promotional and logistic event related expenses.

The Canadian Heritage Celebrate Canada program provides funding to community-based activities celebrating and promoting Canada Day. These celebrations enable Canadians to appreciate Canada’s cultural, ethnic, linguistic and geographic diversity and create opportunities for Canadians to participate in celebrations which create a sense of pride and belonging to Canada.

These wonderful community events would not be possible without the generous support of the Celebrate Canada program, the City of Kawartha Lakes and the numerous community members and volunteers, who work so hard to provide these events in our communities.
